Commercial Description:
JW Dundee’s American Amber Lager has a complex malt character that is masterfully balanced by a distinct American Hop aroma and flavor. We use 5 different malts to create the complex malt flavor in this beer. We start with our 2 Row Pale Malt as our base and then add 4 different types of Crystal Malts. It is the combination of the four Crystal malts that define the complexity of the beer. Although the malt is showcased in this beer, the hops play an important part in the balance of flavors. We use Simcoe, Cascade, and Magnum hops to create the hop profile that balances the complex malt character. This balance creates a beer that has great depth of flavor while still being very drinkable. JW Dundee’s Amber Lager is flavorful enough to satisfy craft beer drinkers yet is still accessible to those looking to find a beer with a little more character than their normal beer.

Light to medium amber color, tall head, quite bubbly. Slightly sweet caramel aroma with decent American hops. Dark malt flavor, caramel and brown sugar. A bit sweet and one-dimensional, but decent hop balance. Not really so interesting, but not bad either.

Pours a (surprise) amber colors with minimal head and retention. Smell is of malt and very little else. Taste is very one-dimensional. That being said, the malty taste that this brew lends itself to is pleasant and makes it very drinkable. This does not taste like an amber, however. There is no hop character whatsoever. It actually tastes very much like their honey brown. Again, it would be very easy to put a few of these down, though I don’t really see myself buying any more of these if there is something else around. Reviewed on: 09-15-2007

Bottle: Amber colored pour with little to no head. Sweet, spicy, malty aroma. Crisp, light malts, hoppy finish. I liked this.

Bottle with - and courtesy of - yalnikim, a clear amber with the glass, with a thick off-white head. A doughy malt aroma. Standard ’mass’ amber lager flavour, sweetish malt and slightly metallic, with a thin mouthfeel. Unoffensive, would be popular with kiwi blokes who like their Lion Red, etc.

Tasted 16/09/2008. 12oz bottle. Huge biscuit dough malt aroma, very German, reminiscent of Sam Adams. Medium sweetness. Slightly grassy, herbal hop note with a little metallic twist in the finish. Certainly drinkable but not eaxactly "refined".
